I want to give you some easy ideas to

Every once in a while, something truly terrible happens, in a genuinely large scale, and it can feel very dark. In our world. In our country. In our hearts. It shakes us to our core. It tests our spirit. It makes us doubt things we believe. These truly terrible things often happen with large audiences, or large numbers of people effected. Our heart breaks for those we don't even know. We feel helpless in our corner of the world. It used to bring us together, lately it feels like with each truly terrible instance, we find ourselves even more divided than ever before. That is even more terrible. Even more heartbreaking. Making the truly terrible thing, become an even more terrible thing. It's an age old saying that "hurt people, hurt people" and it may be a bit played out, but it is entirely too accurate. Hurt people DO hurt people. It starts with us. You, me, each person individually. Are we a hurt person who is hurting other people? Have we been one in the past? Are we slipping into this bad habit for the first time? WE have to ask OURSELVES these questions. We must hold ourselves accountable. We can't stop ignoring our own red flags, and trust me, we ALL have them. Society has become all to broken when people are walking into churches or schools, firing upon completely innocent people. Society has hit a new low when people are celebrating murder because they agree with the message the shooter was sending, or they hated the opinions of the victim. Society has reached a scary place when excuses are made more than accountability is taken. WE MUST BE PART OF THE HEALING!!! I am more convinced than ever before that my vision for Dazzling District inc. is absolutely needed in this world. That, maybe God did plan the recipe to world peace inside of my brain, and I just have to not quit and work harder. Mental health is on the decline. People are taking less accountability in their own health and wellbeing. The income gap in increasing rapidly. The ones who can afford to take care of themselves well are chasing vanity metrics to "be healthy". The ones who can't afford the basics are getting lost in the gap, to their own detriment. The secret to being healthy isn't 3 square meals a day, it's fueling yourself for peak performance. The secret to being rested isn't sleeping 8 solid hours of sleep, it is equally valuing sleep, mental rest, and spiritual rest. The secret to being fit isn't hours of cardio and a six pack or a number on the scale, it's moving your body regularly so you can keep moving your body regularly. When we chase the wrong goals, our self-care efforts will always fall short. When we think of our needs as the last priority, behind our roles and responsibilities, we are failing to fill ourselves up at all. When you picture yourself as an actual vessel for the will of God, then you can begin visualizing a cup, or a bowl, or a vase. And if you are that cup, bowl, or vase, then you serve the Lord best when you are full. Full of the fruits of the spirit. Full of positive intentions. Full of accountability. Full of the magic that God created us with. If we are intentional to make choices that fill us up, then we have something to pour into others. This is helpful to others, but pouring into them depletes you, so then you need to fill yourself up more. However, if we prioritize our own health, wellness, and care then we can become so abundantly full that we don't even need to pour. Instead, we can overflow. Will you make a promise to yourself? Will you promise to be part of the solution, instead of being part of the problem? Will you try to fill yourself up first more often, instead of depleting yourself all the time? Will you do your best to not be another hurt person in this world just hurting other people? I built this place and have been working so hard growing it, and sharing my methods, and creating tools to help you start to slowly begin practicing these principles in your own life and remembering these 3 are realities. Self-Love is the BEST (human) Love. Self-Care IS NOT (ever) Selfish. Healing is NOT linear (or quick). World peace will only ever happen if we are ALL a piece of the solution. When tragedy strikes, we must not let the darkness consume us. We must double down on holding ourselves accountable for our own health and wellness instead. When tragedy strikes, we must be sure we overflow. Please check out my 7-Step Method to Overflowing in your own life. Overflow will spark the dazzling magic that was planted in your soul at the moment of your creation. There's magic in you. I just know it. Let Dazzling District be the place you learn to nurture it for the benefit of the whole world. Be the best version of you! Live Dazzling! ~Rebecca Jackson

It's crazy out there, but it's crazier online! The world is getting scary for sure, there is no denying that fact, but Darling, it's even crazier out there in the socials. The content can be weird, or down-right wrong. The comments can be scary and cruel. The media is bias and confusing. You really don't know what is real anymore because of the vast growth in the Ai sector. It's really a jungle online, and if you aren't disciplined and intentional about your social media consumption, it could have very negative effects on your real life. Now don't get me wrong, I use many social media platforms, for personal and business purposes, but I have some rules for myself. After years of free-range consumption online, with no rules and no limits, it became imperative that I implement a few rules, or boundaries, for my social media consumption. If I'm not intentional, it effects my attitude and my mood. I only ever want to #BeKindDarling, whenever I show up on the socials, and I definitely don't want drama Momma. To prevent the drama, I do my best to stay in these boundaries. #1 - I don't go on first thing in the morning. I start my morning with a verse of the day, a language lesson, &/or a workout. #2 I don't use it to inform my news or world view. Instead, I watch my morning show of choice & a few evening news segments. #3 - I am not on it when I have company or am in a social setting. Socializing in person will always trump my online socializing. #4 - I try very hard to limit the number of hours a day/week/month that I spend consuming on social media, between work & personal. #5 - I'm picky, I don't use them all, and I curate my feed and who I follow with intention to eliminate triggers popping up on my feed. These boundaries I've set for myself on social media helps me to protect my peace and show up online as the best version of myself when I do spend time consuming social media. We have to work hard and be super intentional to protect our own peace, and manage our own joy injections, because if we don't prioritize it for myself, the world will chew me up and spit me out. I encourage you to be very intentional with your social media use and consumption. Nobody will protect your peace or salvage your joy better than you will. If you leave those responsibilities up to other people, or prioritize them last, you will be the one who suffers the repercussions, and you will always be disappointed by the world. In addition to my personal boundaries for my social media use, I also made myself a Social Media Standard that I try to use. I've decided to make it sharable for you too!

The holidays are rapidly approaching and I'm sure, like me, you are keenly aware of this fact. If you are anything like me, your empty wallet is already whispering to you about its worry. Back-to-School did a number of my wallet, and it is already starting to fear the swiping that will take place from Halloween prep clear thru to 2026. This felt like the right time to drop this blog that I started drafting years ago, in April of 2021, but I never quite made it back to it long enough to finish it... until my own financial life was in complete chaos once again after my husband suffered his spine injury back in April 2025, nearly exactly 4 years later. Then, I touched back into this blog over the summer, for my own benefit, and I've been polishing it here and there, working on completing it since. I'm finally ready to share it with you! Enjoy! In order to keep from having messy money habits you can improve these practices in your life, leading you closer to financial freedom with magical money habits instead. Let me break it down for you a little more. M ake changes E liminate waste S top excess spending S ave where you can Y ou are worthy M anage investments O nly spend for need N ever sacrifice quality for price E levate your money IQ Y our Legacy is shaping We could all make some changes to our financial outlook. To make changes you have to first be brutally honest with yourself about your current financial outlook. Money is half mindset and half managing it. If you ignore bad money habits or bad money beliefs, they will run your life from behind the scenes. If you spend on wasteful things, you're bound to feel regretful as well, Make these necessary changes to become the manager of your money instead of the spender. This is the natural next step. You should eliminate waste , in your spending, but also in your life. Where are you wasting tangible things in your life that is causing hidden wasteful spending? Are there places you can cutback in your consumption to eliminate excess spending? Ask yourself the hard questions to help you eliminate the waste and create abundance to benefit your family, your home, your dreams and your goals, all of which are ultimately to the benefit of your legacy. To say it another way, stop excess spending anywhere you can. Do you spend a ton of money on clothing. Maybe it's craft supplies that rarely get used, or home organization stuff that you keep planning on implementing soon. Whatever things in your life that you are spending excessive amounts on, no matter how well intended, identify them and then minimize the expense they create in your budget When it comes to buying the necessary consumables like food, toiletries, and paper products, it's best to save where you can . I'm not saying cheap toilet paper if you're used to a certain ply, but I am saying to coupon, or shop sale whenever and wherever you can to prevent excessive spending on the things you have to buy. There's no need to pay full price for the things we always know we need and use frequently, just plan ahead, shop the sales, and be prepared instead of spending unnecessarily. The most important part of implementing these things is to acknowledge that you are worthy of having money come freely and easily into your life. You are worthy of spending, saving, or investing your money when it does come. You are worthy of financial wealth and abundance, but it will not just come to you, it needs to be nurtured and managed intentionally. Moving past cleaning up your money habits and into how to make your money work for you, you should first make investments . Whether they be traditional investments in stocks and bonds on Wallstreet, or real estate investments, or small business investments, the way you personally decide to invest is entirely up to you, but it's a beneficial first step to making your money multiply and work for you. Simply spending gets you nowhere except needing to collect more dollars to spend. Invest, don't spend. When looking for other ways to multiply your money you must continue the themes above by following one simple spending rule: only spend for need . You can justify the need however you choose, but need should fuel your spending. Not jealousy or envy, not insecurity or doubt, only need. Those other ways of fueling your spending are all going to create unhealthy spending habits. You worked so hard to eliminate messy spending habits, it would be a shame to slip back into old ways. Looking for ways to multiply may seem like looking for the least expensive option is best, except this is flawed thinking because the lower the price, typically lower the quality. Lower quality means frequent need for repair or replacement. When it comes to making purchases, I encourage that you never sacrifice quality for price . Spend where you need to spend to increase quality and minimize additional future expense. When you buy cheap you pay for it, multiple times, and in multiple ways. Multiply your money by minimizing the number of times you have to spend it, accomplished best when you purchase better quality products. Another way to multiply your money is to constantly be intentional to elevate your money IQ . It's not enough to make money and then to invest the money. If you don't elevate your financial IQ you will still lose your money, making bad investments, bad quality purchases, inconvenient expense timing, etc. Elevating your financial IQ should be a lifelong journey, where you continually grow your money mindset, financial comprehension, and also seek new ways to ensure money retention. With all of this, as you begin implementing remember what it's all for. you are not just trying to grow dollars in your bank account, you are trying to be the one who defines you, it's all a part of your legacy shaping into what you want you will give future generations. Financial changes will affect future generations far more than they will benefit you. Growing wealth isn't about you now, it's about ensuring financial stability for your grandchildren and their grandchildren, the best ways you can. Cleaning up the mess can lead you to true financial F lexible fun R ich culture E ducation E ntrepreneur potential D estination travel O pportunities M oney in the bank and your pocket When your money habits are clean and you have extra cash flow as a result you can partake in more flexible fun . Often times last minute opportunities or higher ticket purchases are impossible for a person with messy money habits. Being intentional to practice cleaner methods when it comes to managing your money truly opens up freedom to have significantly more flexibility when deciding how you have fun and where you can choose to do so. Lavish vacations, adventurous outings, and unique products and experiences all typically cost more and are rarely presented with extensive time to prepare. Without flexibility in your spending capacity, these things will be harder to achieve. Being fortunate enough to be born into a wealthy family that affords rich culture in your life is not commonplace. This is why in a Monarchy there are the Royals & the Commoners, requiring significantly more commoners to make a kingdom run successfully. If you aren't one of the lucky ones born into wealth it doesn't mean you can't have a rich culture fulfilling your experience here on earth. It just means you have to be intentional in your choices, and practice clean money habits. Doing so will afford you the freedom to experience many opportunities to ensure a rich culture even though you don't have a royal title. Sadly, in the world we live in, a good education can sometimes be hard to obtain. This is just another example of how clean money habits can make the difference. This disappointing truth about our schooling institutions may be too challenging for our society to fix, but we have power as adults. University prices are higher than they've ever been, and for many families, it's too steep a cost for them to manage, a frustrating truth for many. If this was your family as you approached adulthood, you can change the story. You can break the chain. Keeping clean money habits as an adult can afford you the ability to obtain opportunities to further your education with more ease Every store, every restaurant, every product started with a person who saw entrepreneur potential in a vision they had and then decided to take a leap of faith. With clean money habits, your leap can feel much smaller than if you are chasing this dream with no padding in your bank account. It costs money to make money, and this is the reason more people aren't building their own companies. I can promise you I'd be further along in my own entrepreneurial vision if my money habits were cleaner at the start. I knew nothing of true destination travel . I understood travel but not really travel based on the destination of your choosing. Honestly, I only understood travel based on your bank account. Until I was in the double-digits as a kid I believed that vacations were always camping. We never took big vacations, or really anything more than a camping weekend, until I was a teenager. As I grew up and had kids, I began to understand their reasoning. Kids are expensive, and so are vacations. Spending on luxurious vacations, or the freedom to just visit somewhere that you're interested in, is one of those unique benefits enjoyed by people with money to spare. Clean money habits help you accrue money to spare. One of the best perks to having clean money habits that allow you to be financially comfortable is simply opportunities , plainly stated. When a musician you love it doing a show a few hours away, but you can't afford a reliable vehicle, it doesn't even matter if you can squirrel away the ticket money, you still can't get there. Lost opportunity. When your bestie is getting married in another state, cross country, if you can't afford to take days off of work to attend her wedding weekend or even to buy the plane ticket you both lose. Missed memories. Lost opportunity. When your kid gets the chance to participate in a school production, but the program fee and uniform expense is more than you can swing, you're disappointing your child. Another lost opportunity. Clean money habits, that help you accumulate extra money in the bank just growing, allows you to get to the concert, enjoy your friend's wedding for a whole week, AND also enjoy as many showings as you want of your kid's play, photographing every second. The absolute best part of practicing clean money habits is having money in the bank and your pocket; there's no easier way to put it. Having clean money habits allows you to do all of the things (flexible fun, rich culture, education, entrepreneurial potential, destination travel, and opportunities) while still having money in the bank and also in your pocket. There is no better feeling, than to know you have extra money, just in case. With all of this in mind, how will you begin cleaning up your money practices and minimize the wasteful spending? I consider wasteful spending to be anything that: 1) Does not meet one of your core needs 2) Improve you as a human while still aligning with your values or 3) Spark joy inside of you in a healthy and productive way. Set some money goals... practical and out of this world BIG ones! Live Dazzling! ~ Rebecca

I want to give you some easy ideas to

When you've poured everything that you possibly can from your vessel, and you've got nothing left, it can feel like a desperate, hopeless place to be. Add to it the loneliness that often accompanies motherhood, the guilt that too frequently arrives handcuffed to your self-care practices, as well as the mixed bag of postpartum concerns, and you've got a recipe for empty cup syndrome. This is all before even considering that moms in their mid to late thirties with little ones are also navigating perimenopause symptoms that nobody told them would begin to show up in their thirties! It can feel like too much. The struggle is most certainly REAL! Life is hard. This is a time-tested truth. It's a biblically validated truth. It is undeniable. Life can be so damn hard it feels useless to try. We can feel incapable of creating change or making a difference. It can feel hopeless. I know all of these things from personal experience. Except, that thinking gives the power to the problems, it minimizes our actual power as individuals, and it contributes the worst attitudes into the big picture that is our society. When we are depleted, we are our worst version of ourselves. As women, we so often pour into others to the point of our own depletion, and if we do so too frequently, we run empty, becoming burned out. This is why intentionally prioritizing our own wellbeing is truly in the best interest of the world. Life is hard. It's tiring. It's draining. All of this is true. What is also true is the fact that keeping yourself from running completely dry is your responsibility. I'm here to tell you that there is a better way, a more dazzling way! You don't have to settle for depleted, hurting, desperate, and irritable anymore. You can begin to practice intentional self-care, compassionate self-love, and valuable self-discovery while making noticeable strides towards filling yourself up faster. You can seek help healing from your hurts, begin slapping some gold on your cracks, stopping the leaks, and allowing you to retain more of what you're filling yourself up with. Combing these things will have you overflowing in a way you've never known before. You will be noticeably more dazzling. You'll feel it. Other's will see it. Everyone will benefit. When you prioritize your needs and your wellness, you can fill yourself up so abundantly that you overflow into your people. It's not just bubble baths and glasses of wine, or trips to the salon for a manicure and a hair transformation. It's truly factoring your mental wellness, your physical wellness, and also your spiritual wellness. When you are prioritizing all of your needs and wellness, mind, body, and spirit, you will begin to flow goodness into you, God's vessel. When this happens enough, factoring all three components consistently, eventually you will no longer need to pour into others, you'll be abundantly overflowing the best of you into the world instead. With these three components functioning at their peak and aligned, you will ignite the Dazzling Spark inside your soul, allowing you to truly activate your personal God Gifted Superpowers so you can use them for the good of all the world. Pouring depletes, so overflow your abundance instead! Prioritizing others and their needs above your own is noble, but dangerous. Even Christ went away to be alone when He needed to prioritize His own spiritual wellness amidst the incredible responsibility He was given here on earth. We are called as people to pour love into our world. We are called as women and mothers to care for and nurture others. You can't do that well when you are first not pouring love over yourself. You can't do that when you are first not caring for and nurturing yourself. We are called as responsible contributors of society to be civil and productive towards world peace. Except we can't do that when we don't first create peace in ourselves. We are a broken society, amidst a broken world. We need to stop being radical about others and our beliefs of them, we should get radical about our own care and wellbeing. It stands a better chance of creating peace in our world if you ask me. Each of us, overflowing the healthiest, most joyful, and loving parts of us into the world together. Collectively, it will take all of us sparking our dazzling and overflowing the best of us into the world to fix this broken planet. It starts with you. I pray you use this place to begin the quest; He put it on my heart to build it for that purpose, and to keep it running from my own abundance! Live Dazzling! ~Rebecca Jackson

There was a time that I would never have called myself a morning person. There were times through the newborn stages where I'd have full belly laughed over the thought of waking up before nine in the morning by choice. I was so under slept and I had never really been a morning person, not even before kids. I've always considered myself a moonchild, I come alive under the moon and my creativity peaks in the twilight hours. However, for a number of years, I'd have different "Titus Women" at church encourage me to wake an hour before my family to get some quiet time with God before I started my day, and this always made me feel like they couldn't really remember how hard it was with little kiddos. It sounded ideal in theory, but attempting to implement this practice in my life only caused me shame and disappointment in myself back then. I had been in a season where I was living repetitive mornings of chaos. One day of surviving chaos after another. It was for this reason that I became curious about five years ago, about whether I could implement this practice in my current season of life, at the time my oldest was launching and my nest was slowly starting to empty. Less chaos. My baby was in first grade, my oldest had just graduated and was starting college. I had tried to go back to work in my baby's kindergarten year, but that was quarantine year so, I had to quit my perfectly scheduled job to virtual school my kids, and in that year, I felt called to double down on building this business. I was consistently hitting the gym by then, and I noticed that many of my most convenient times to head to the gym, also happened to be the busiest times at the gym. This had me considering waking early for the first time in my life. I decided to try arriving at the gym by about five in the morning, so that I could get a half hour to an hour-long workout in before heading home to shower and begin waking my kids for school. I experimented like this for a week, and much to my surprise, I loved it! I found myself being more productive at home earlier in the day, oftentimes getting our dishwasher emptied early in the day, and cooking a hot breakfast for myself, and even my kids occasionally too, after my shower but before school. The quiet gym was a welcome perk that encouraged me to increase the intensity of my workouts on some mornings. Getting chores, breakfast, and my workout in before nine in the morning meant I had more of my day to tackle projects, self-development work, and other household chores. It really cleared the way for me to get significantly more done during my days, while still tiring me out for bed nice and early, a feat that is anything but simple to accomplish normally. Plus, I still got to benefit from hours under the moonlight! I knew this wouldn't be an everyday practice, but I was excited to begin practicing my more disciplined morning schedule more frequently moving forward. I also came to realize, that even as my kids get older, there are always some situations where it isn't a season that it fits naturally. In the seasons I am not a part of the "Five A.M. Club", I skip the guilt and shame now too, entirely. I will not make myself feel bad for skipping when the season isn't right. Not every season is a five-a.m. season. After I began experimenting with earlier mornings, I found myself beginning to wake earlier naturally. I don't know if it was the perimenopause, or the fact that I had intentionally began consistently stretching my waking hour to an even earlier hour, but I slowly became a morning person. Now, it's a very rare day that I am out of bed and moving much later than 9 a.m. ever, most frequently waking between the six and eight hours of the morning instead. The way that this practice rewired my brain and transformed my morning hours into "Mornings of Me" (or MoM hours), has improved my entire day. I start each day by pouring into myself, nurturing the overflow immediately. I'm not telling you to start waking up at 5-a.m. because I remember what it's like to be in the trenches with littles. This blog was meant to be a beacon of hope to those moms still in the thick of motherhood right now, to show them hope for future seasons with more calm, and less chaos. It was also meant to be an example of how we are always changing and evolving as a person, and a mother, so you MUST reevaluate your needs and how you approach your care regularly. If you don't, your care practices will get skipped or become stale altogether, leading to a depleted, frazzled you, with no overflow to go around. Whether it's your mornings or your evenings, find time to recharge and replenish yourself darling! Everyone benefits when you do! Take care of YOU too! Live Dazzling! ~Rebecca Jackson
